Friday Night Hero Showdown

FRIDAY NIGHT HERO SHOWDOWN
“A Partner Competition”

Join us for a Veteran’s Day (same-sex) Partner Competition! The competition will follow with Pizza and drinks – BYOB!!

Awesome PRIZES from The Fitness Armory!!!! SIGN-UP AT THE GYM!

For the workout, we will be doing a modified version of the “Three Wise Men” to support our Veterans!

The Three Wise Men Veterans Foundation is named in honor of Jeremy Wise, Ben Wise and Beau Wise. We stand with veterans who survived combat as they not only survive but thrive in the peace that follows. We advocate for public policy to ensure the commitment made to our veterans is honored. We raise awareness of the problems our veterans face and directly tackle the stigma associated with post traumatic stress by helping connect them with needed services. And we build alliances and partnerships with other veteran non-profits to help address the problems of employment, housing and education.
